India’s EV Charging Network Expands: Tier-II Cities Join the Green Drive

India's electric vehicle revolution is no longer limited to metropolitan areas. Tier-II cities such as Indore, Lucknow, and Coimbatore are now witnessing a surge in EV charging station installations, making sustainable mobility more inclusive than ever.

With over 3,500 new public chargers deployed outside metro regions in the last six months, the government’s push for decentralization is showing real results. These stations are being set up at shopping malls, fuel stations, parking zones, and near railway stations.

Building for the Masses, Not Just the Metros

As electric two-wheelers and e-rickshaws gain traction in smaller cities, reliable charging becomes essential. Key developments include:

  • 🔌 24x7 charging kiosks at public transport hubs
  • 📱 Unified EV apps for charger discovery and payments
  • ⚡ Affordable slow-chargers for residential areas

Local Entrepreneurs Driving Change

Interestingly, local businesses are stepping up to set up neighborhood charging points. Supported by state EV policies and soft loans, small entrepreneurs are turning charging into a viable business opportunity.

As public awareness increases and demand grows, India’s EV charging landscape is becoming broader and more balanced — ensuring green growth reaches every corner of the country.
